Time effect on the deformation and strength characteristics of geogrid reinforced sand retaining wall has become an important issue in geotechnical and transportation engineering. Three physical model tests on geogrid reinforced sand retaining walls performed under various loading conditions were simulated to study their rate-dependent behaviors, using the presented nonlinear finite element method (FEM) analysis procedure. This FEM was based on the dynamic relaxation method and return mapping scheme, in which the combined effects of the rate-dependent behaviors of both the backfill soil and the geosynthetic reinforcement have been included. The rate-dependent behaviors of sands and geogrids should be attributed to the viscous property of materials, which can be described by the unified three-component elasto-viscoplastic constitutive model. By comparing the FEM simulations and the test results, it can be found that the present FEM was able to be successfully extended to the boundary value problems of geosynthetic reinforced soil retaining walls. The deformation and strength characteristics of the geogrid reinforced sand retaining walls can be well reproduced. Loading rate effect, the trends of jump in footing pressure upon the step-changes in the loading rate, occurred not only on sands and geogrids but also on geogrid reinforced sands retaining walls. The lateral earth pressure distributions against the back of retaining wall, the local tensile force in the geogrid arranged in the retaining wall and the local stresses beneath the footing under various loading conditions can also be predicted well in the FEM simulations.

보강토 옹벽이 장대화 됨에 따라 보다 다단식 옹벽의 시공사례가 늘어가고 있다. 현재 NCMA 혹은 FHWA 설계기준에서 제시하고 있는 다단식 옹벽의 설계기준에서는 옹벽의 내 외적 안정성 검토에 주안점을 두고 상 하단 옹벽의 포설 조건을 설정하도록 제안하고 있으나 우리나라의 설계사례를 검토할 경우 설계기준에 부합되지 않는 경우가 많은 것으로 보고되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 우리나라 보강토 옹벽의 설계에서 그 이해가 부족한 부분이라고 할 수 있는 다단식 보강토 옹벽의 설계개념을 알아보았으며 NCMA 및 FHWA 설계기준에 근거하여 네 개의 현장옹벽에 대한 내 외적 안정성 및 복합파괴에 대한 안정성을 검토하였다. 아울러서 그 결과를 토대로 현재 우리나라에서 적용되고 있는 다단식 보강토 옹벽 설계의 문제점 및 이에 대한 대책 등을 언급하였다.

본 논문에서는 국내외 두 현장의 보강토옹벽 대한 강우에 의한 영향을 분석한 내용을 다루고 있다. 국내 현장으로 성균관대학교내 지반시험장에 실대형 실험을 목적으로 시공된 계단식 보강토옹벽은 약 8개월 이상 장기 계측을 실시하여 시공시 및 강우시의 계측 결과를 분석 할수 있었다. 국외 보강토옹벽의 현장에서는 강우가 보강토옹벽의 거동에 영향을 미치는 주요인자임을 확인할 수 있었다.

본 고에서는 성균관대학교에 시공된 시험옹벽의 계측결과와 국외에서 발표된 옹벽 붕괴사례를 토대로 강우가 보강토 옹벽의 거동에 미치는 영향을 검토하였다. 시험옹벽에서의 계측결과에서는 집중강우 발생시 벽체 변위 및 보강재의 유발변형율이 증가하는 추세가 뚜렷하게 관찰 되었다. 한편 국외 사례에서도 보강토 옹벽의 붕괴에 있어서 집중강우가 원인을 제공하는 것으로 나타났으며 본 옹벽의 경우 연결강도에 대한 설계가 제대로 이루어지지 않아 강우로 인해 발생한 침투수압에 블록/보강재 연결부가 충분한 저항을 하지 못하여 붕괴가 일어 난것으로 조사되었다. 본 논문에서는 강우와 보강토 옹벽의 거동의 상관관계를 분석 고찰하였다.

In order to apply the Limit Equilibrium Method generally used for the slope stability analysis to the vertical excavation walls reinforced by soil-nailing, in this study, the Limit Equilibrium Method for the temporary shoring facilities reinforced by soil-nailing was proposed, which is based on the stability for the horizontal displacement. In this study, the relation of the internal friction angles of the ground and the vertical excavation depths was arranged, which is satisfying the stability on the horizontal displacement by using the verification of the Limit Equilibrium Method. And then, the rational reinforcing length of soil-nailing was proposed for the critical areas. In addition, the modified safety ratio satisfying the stability on the horizontal displacement was proposed, when the Limit Equilibrium Method was applied to the vertical excavation walls reinforced by soil-nailing.

Geosynthetics reinforced soil (GRS) walls constructed on weak grounds may change in both the horizontal earth pressure and deformation on wall facing. However, only few studies were done in the literature to measure and analyze the horizontal external deformation behavior of GRS walls constructed on soft grounds for a long period of time. The present study describes the external deformation behavior of GRS walls observed for 12-year long-term performance. The horizontal deformation of the geosynthetics-wrapped-facing GRS walls shows a passive behavior along one third of the wall height, from top going downwards, and active behavior for the rest of the wall height. Even if the geogrid and nonwoven geotextiles are exposed directly to sunlight and rainfalls in a span of 12 years, they have functioned well as wall facing. Therefore, the geosynthetic reinforcement material is strong enough to resist ultraviolet rays.

The model tests were conducted to assess the behavior characteristics of geogrid reinforced earth walls according to various surcharge loads and reinforcement spacing. The models were built in the box having dimension, 100cm tall, 140cm long, and 100cm wide. The reinforcement used was geogrid(tensile strength 2.26t/m). Decomposed granite soil(ML) was used as a backfill material. The LVDTs were installed on the model retaining walls to obtain the displacements of the facing. In the results, the maximum displacement of facing and tensile strain of geogrid was measured at 0.7H(H is wall height) from the bottom of reinforced wall.

기존의 지오텍스타일 보강토벽 공법은 대부분 콘크리트 판넬 또는 블록형식의 벽면을 사용하고 있어 미관상의 단점을 해결하지 못하고 있다. 이러한 보강토 사면 또는 보강토벽의 단점을 보완하여 녹화벽면의 형성이 가능할 경우 기존 보강토 공법의 장점이 극대화되어 이 공법의 효율성을 크게 향상시킬 수 있다. 이와 같은 배경 하에 본 연구에서는 보강토벽 전면에 녹화가 가능한 연성벽면을 형성, 안정성 측면에서도 강성벽면과 거의 동등한 기능을 발휘할 수 있는 공법을 고안하여, 여러 가지 형태의 실내모형 시험을 실시하여 그 거동을 비교 분석하였다. 그 결과, 이러한 녹화벽면 공법은 그 안정성측면에서도 충분히 새로운 공법이 될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

The present paper analyzes and discusses the effect of facing system and staged construction in GRS (geosynethetic reinforced soil) walls for railway structures throughout various case analyses. The result shows that postconstruction facing system by staged construction procedures is more advantageous for railway structure construction than preconstruction and simultaneous construction facing system with reinforced soil.

Because of the increasing need to use clayey soil as the backfill in reinforced soil structures and embankment material, nonwoven geotextiles with the drain capability have been receiving much attention. However, there are few studies of the deformation behavior of nonwoven geotextiles at geosynthetics reinforced soil structures in the field because the nonwoven geotextile, which has low tensile stiffness and higher deformability than geogrids and woven geotextiles, is difficult to measure its deformation by strain gauges and to prevent the water from infiltrating. This study proposes a new, more convenient method to measure the deformation behaviour of nonwoven geotextile by using a strain gauge; and examines the availability of the method by conducting laboratory tests and by applying it on two geosynthetics reinforced soil (GRS) walls in the field. A wide-width tensile test conducted under confining pressure of 7kPa showed that the local deformation of nonwoven geotextile measured with strain gauges has a similar pattern to the total deformation measured with LVDT. In the field GRS walls, nonwoven geotextile showed a larger deformation range than the woven geotextile and geogrid; however, the deformation patterns of these three reinforcement materials were similar. The function of strain gauges attached to nonwoven geotextile in the walls works normally for 16 months. Therefore, the method proposed in this study for measuring nonwoven geotextile deformation by using a strain gauge proved useful.
